Throw away all the oil money race tracks and have multiple races here

[โ€“] SuperIce 5 points 1 year ago

Probably my favorite race of the year, even though it was only a sprint. That brings my hopes up for tomorrow's race a lot.

[โ€“] DV8 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alpha Tauri looking good for the real race tomorrow.

[โ€“] alphacyberranger 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Max and Lando went into the sunset

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

What an absolute stonker of a race! Possibly the best sprint this year. Hopefully the main race is also this entertaining!

Hats off to the direction and F1tv commentary!

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This sprint race might be the best of any race this season so far. So much going on.

[โ€“] calamitycastle 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this what happens when you take 'managing' down in importance?

He somehow managed to keep the same pace as LeClerc and pull away from Sainz. And the AT's tire degradation is clearly better than Ferrari's. He was a few tenths faster than LeClerc in the last couple of laps. Another 3 laps and he would've been ahead.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty exciting so far. Lots of close racing and overtaking.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely! Even before DRS there was a ton of action.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

OK, that was a sick pass of Perez by Hamilton. Goddamn.

Perez better pick it up.

[โ€“] alphacyberranger 5 points 1 year ago

Now this is pretty exciting

[โ€“] alphacyberranger 4 points 1 year ago

What a race

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato 3 points 1 year ago

What a fantastic sprint. Just pure, clean racing. Hope to have more of them in the future.

[โ€“] DV8 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm liking that Checo is proving on track that he can be the best number 2. Vamos Checo!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

He was closest to his team mate?

I agree he put in a strong race, but I suspect his goose is cooked at this point. It's surely too late when you've got Ric, Law and Tsu all waiting eagerly in the wings.

[โ€“] DV8 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If he can consistently finish 2-4 and qualify better, he can help play pit games. That's all that's needed to keep his spot. I don't think Tsunoda or Lawson are safe choices so he'd need to do many mistakes like in Mexico before that could become real imho.

Am I crazy or is it way too advantageous to start second? Verstappen had the best line...

[โ€“] espentan 5 points 1 year ago

This isn't a bad place to start second, but Max had a bit better start and Lando was perhaps a bit too cautious with breaks going into the first corner.

[โ€“] DV8 3 points 1 year ago

Some tracks are like that, but I suppose we'll see what happens in the real race tomorrow. Though this practice/sprint race tends to ruin any surprises.

[โ€“] JJROKCZ 2 points 1 year ago

Some tracks are like that, first isnโ€™t always best unless you have the acceleration speed to keep ahead

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I always love those shots from the front where a car appears from another one to make a pass. Like what we just saw with Perez on Russell. Very cinematic.

[โ€“] espentan 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Danny only .3 behind Sainz..

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

He passed up Sainz! He passed up a Ferrari!

Then he lost the spot back to Sainz due to DRS, but still, that it happened at all!

[โ€“] alphacyberranger 2 points 1 year ago

I love this track

[โ€“] alphacyberranger 2 points 1 year ago

[โ€“] Motecuhzoma 2 points 1 year ago

Hamiltonโ€™s pace is gone

[โ€“] espentan 2 points 1 year ago

Perez dropping back from Lando? Used up his tires working his way forwards, maybe..

[โ€“] alphacyberranger 2 points 1 year ago

Eat that ocon

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato 2 points 1 year ago

Oof Lando dropped 2 places. Doesn't look like he tried to push hard on that first corner.

Perez down 2 places as well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was already entertaining before DRS was enabled.
